Marci Forbes, sculptor of dogs
Our longtime online friend Marci is an artist who paints incredible artwork. However, she’s also been doing sculptures of dogs, and I just love them! Here’s a link to her website with tons of photos: Papier Dog. Personally, I’m kind of fond of Gidget…
About Me
My name is Leigh-Ann, I'm Canadian, and I live in the United States. This gives me great insight on cross-border issues, like American vs. Canadian candy bars, and curling vs. golf. I enjoy coffee but not caffeine, as I like to think I'm agitated enough already. I love animals and birds and fish and even most of the creepy crawlies on the sidewalk and in the garden, but I prefer it when they stay out of the house. I completed the veterinary technology program at Penn Foster, and in 2004 I started Wee Paws Animal Sanctuary with the goal of eventually turning it into a farm-like sanctuary facility for 50+ "unadoptable" cats (we're at 24). Long story short, this is a cat blog, with a dose of dog and parrot, heavy on pet health care talk. If you'd like to make a donation to Wee Paws, click the button below, or click here for more options and ways you can help.
I live with the fantabulous Flippy. I write a blog about fibromyalgia at Tired Girls. Feel free to check out the photo gallery if you want to see 500 pictures of my dogs, cats, birds, etc. Get in touch with me via the "contact" link above - I'm always available for freelance social media marketing work. My background includes 13 years in radio and television. One more thing: this blog was designed to be displayed at 1280 x 1024, because that's just the kind of girl I am.
